Chapter 321   - Model And Sidekick

About five minutes later, GC's article appeared. The title read, 'Cage Cavanaugh reveals inside details about his life with his girlfriend'.

Stephen was planted in the bathroom as soon as the article appeared, several journalists calling him all at once to confirm if the news was true.

Katherine's viewers were losing their minds, screaming, and cheering for their favorite idol. Some commented on how they had assumed Katherine's boyfriend was mooching off her. Others were shocked that Katherine's boyfriend turned out to be her dream man. Mostly, everything was positive. Until the fans came into play. Cage's fans.

There were some harsh remarks. Some called her a gold digger, others said she was trying to create hype to promote her own channel. There were even ones that called her ugly and wondered why Cage would choose someone like her.

Katherine received congratulatory messages from other creators. Even Laurence and Ian calling her to tell her she was brave to put the video out. Katherine watched and listened without saying much.

Social media was overflowing with comments. Katherine finally decided to stop looking at the comments. She had grown tired. Coming out so flamboyantly, she felt powerful.

A couple of hours passed. Angelina and Lily were on a video conference call with Katherine. Angelina was roaring.

"I'm going to kill the bitch!" Since there were a limited amount of people who could hear this call, Katherine hoped it was none of them. Katherine looked confused and Lily was equally bewildered.

"What is it?" Katherine asked. Cage looked over towards her and listened in. He was also wondering if some new article had come out. At this point, it was possible.

"Karen, that f.u.c.k.i.n.g rat we sometimes hung out with at the bar gave inside information to the paps." Well, shit.

"We knew someone was going to speak. Better Karen than someone from our family." Katherine had already spoken to the reporter from GC. As surreal as it felt to talk to someone about her relationship, she was doing it.

"What did she say?" Cage asked curiously.

"We've been frequenting the same bar for many years. She had a tough time a few years back when her boyfriend of many years cheated on her and got someone else pregnant. There was a period of time I thought Katherine wouldn't make it," Angelina read.

Katherine gaped. Was it necessary to bring it up? It had been years since they broke up and Katherine was over him. Why bring that up in regards to her relationship with Cage? The whole world knew that she was cheated on. Great.

Cage hugged her tightly and whispered that it was okay over and over again.

"It was dramatic when the guy ended up coming to the bar over and over, begging her to take him back. She was so cold to him even though no one thought she was over him."

"What in the world is she spouting?" Katherine groaned.

"There is more!" Angelina fumed. "I'm sure she is clinically depressed. The clothes she wears is good sign of that. Even the bartender knew. There was a period when they were flirting and she seemed a lot better." Now she was flirting? This was awful.

"Karen is making it seem like you were f.u.c.k.i.n.g every guy who came your way. What a psychopath," Lily sighed. "I'm not surprised Karen would do this. She's vindictive and evil. Katherine didn't promote her little business, so she has been salty for a while."

"Can you believe it? She sent me texts that I looked amazing with Cage a few hours ago?" Katherine scoffed.

"She's just grabbing her minute of fame and hoping she gets something out of it. I'll see how long she can talk," Angelina declared. Her eyes narrowed as she typed something. There was a buzz, indicating that Angelina had sent something.

"What did you do?" Lily asked.

"I told her parents where she keeps her drugs. She talks a lot when she drinks and she has a problem," Angelina growled.

"Angelina..." Lily groaned. "You shouldn't have..."

Angelina continued to read. "Katherine has two friends. A famous model and a sidekick named Angelina and Lily respectively."

Katherine waited for the reaction.

Lily screamed. "I'll show her!" Angelina and Lily started plotting. Katherine thought about stopping them but she didn't have the kindness in her heart to do it.

Cage smiled at her. "Your friends are really violent. I'm happy I never got on their bad side."

"Now, I have so many people protecting me. I don't know what to do!" she chuckled.

Cage ran a finger down her cheek. "Are you okay?"

"People really do turn against you when you are famous." She sulked. "She threw out some horrible things about my past but I am okay."

"There's nothing horrible about it. Being cheated on or being sad is not a bad thing. You're human. It's their fault for being so heartless."

"I'm also happy that the whole world thinks Keira cheated on you and harassed you. Two victims coming together and living happily ever after," she joked.

"It was embarrassing at first. Looking back, they are the ones who look bad."

"True." Katherine leaned into him. "What else will they want to exploit? The rumors with Laurence? Nathaniel and his pursuit of me?"

"Whatever they say, we'll have Stephen handle them. You're a pure little loli. You can't possibly do anything wrong." He pinched her nose. "Your parents won't talk to the reports and I have faith that they can handle those parasites very well," Cage assured, rubbing her back.

"Talking about parents," Katherine thought out loud. "Angelina, did you speak to yours?" she asked, turning to the people on the screen. They stopped their plan and frowned.

Angelina grinned finally. "I called them last night to talk about how they were. General stuff. My dad was asking me to come home because he keeps seeing me on covers and it embarrasses him. I just told him to look at my pictures online if he misses me."
